Credit Requirement to Participate in CRR Allocation
CAISO will require no advance credit deposit to
participate in CRR allocation
However, holder of the CRRs allocated will be
subject to credit requirements

Credit Requirement to Participate in CRR Auction
Bidding for positively priced CRRs:
– Credit deposit sufficient to cover bids – No credit margin needed during auction
Bidding for negatively priced CRRs
– No credit requirement to participate – No payment to auction winners until credit requirements for holding the CRRs are in place
CRRs will be paid at the conclusion of the auction

5
Credit Requirement to Hold CRR
Same credit requirement criteria apply to all CRR
holders
Overall credit requirement is assessed for the
whole portfolio of CRRs of each holder
– An option to consider: assessing credit requirements for each individual CRR, i.e. no netting. (will discuss later)

6
Two Components of CRR Credit Requirement
CRR expected value
– Credit coverage for the negative auction price of a CRR paid to the holder – A deterministic value determined in the auction process
Credit margin
– Credit coverage that recognizes the potentially volatile nature of the CRR – A percentile value determined on the probability distribution of the value of the CRR

Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement
Credit requirement of a CRR with a term of 1 year
- r less
That is
Value CRR Percentile 5th t Requiremen Credit − = Value CRR Percentile 5th Value Expected CRR Margin Credit − = Margin Credit Value Expected CRR t Requiremen Credit + − =

Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement − Low Positive Expected CRR Value

Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement − High Positive Expected CRR Value
Value CRR Percentile 5th Value Expected CRR Margin Credit − = Value CRR Percentile 5th t Requiremen Credit − =

Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement − Negative Expected CRR Value
Value CRR Percentile 5th Value Expected CRR Margin Credit − = Value CRR Percentile 5th t Requiremen Credit − =

11
Factors to Consider in Deciding Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement
Options: also consider 2.5th and 1st percentile
values
Criteria: a balance between financial requirements
and risk tolerance
– Too low requirements may increase financial risk
As CRRs are settled with other market charges, a payment
default by the holder could create a shortfall that would affect all net creditors in the month of settlement.
– Too high requirements may discourage participation and reduce liquidity and effectiveness of the CRR market

12
Calculation of Short-Term CRR Credit Requirements
Credit requirement for each CRR will be calculated Based on the CAISO LMP study data for the first
year
Actual historical LMP data will be used in the future Other ISO data will be used as references

15
Factors to Consider in Deciding Long-Term CRR Credit Requirement
Of the four options:
– Option 1 is the most conservative, and Option 3 is the least – The CAISO has preference toward Option 2 or 4
Criteria: a balance between financial requirements
and risk tolerance
– Too low requirements may increase financial risk – Too high requirements may discourage participation and reduce liquidity and effectiveness of CRR market

Long-Term CRR Credit Requirement Adjustment
Adjust no less than annually Account for change in remaining terms Reflect changes of CRR ownership Update expected value and credit margin based on
actual market operation data

18
Additional Credit Requirements for LT-CRRs Held by External LSEs
Maintain one year credit coverage for WAC
prepayment
– One year of WAC commitment is added to the EAL – No need to post additional credit as long as ACL is greater than EAL including WAC prepayment – Entities would then prepay the WAC on a monthly basis – Consistent with FERC April 20 Order
California Independent System Operator Corporation
19
Compliance Measures for Failure to Meet Credit Requirements
Terminate all CRR agreements with the default
holder
Retain all payments due to the CRRs and resell the
CRRs in subsequent auctions
Retain financial security sufficient to cover default Exclude the holder from future CRR allocation and
auctions
Prohibit the holder from subsequently acquiring
CRRs
California Independent System Operator Corporation
20
Market Monitoring and Mitigation Measures
FERC and CAISO market rules prohibit Market
Manipulation
CAISO DMM will monitor unusual activities in CRR
allocation and auction processes
For misconduct, the CAISO will
– Require disclosure of affiliations – Explicitly warn participants – Refer to FERC
